In loving memory of an amazing man who touched the entire universe with his immeasurable level of courage, perseverance, intellect, humility, service, and much more. Greatness is not only about how far you can travel in life; rather it is about how many people that you can bring along with you while traveling to greater heights.
President Nelson Mandela gave everything that a person could possibly give to their people. He tirelessly sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears to ensure the freedom of his people was vindicated. To him life was unquestionably beyond just striving for his own personal desires. Obviously, this was the main reason why he devoted most of his life on earth striving to fulfill the positive desires of his people of South Africa. If his life on earth didn’t portray a perfect example of selflessness, then I don’t know who else that we could use as an example.
Even though that he has departed from our presence, perhaps, his extraordinary footsteps will never be erased from this world that he left behind for us to continue his mission for better peace and unity between one and another. His great legacy will surely be celebrated by millions of people all around the world. He inspired countless of people from every corner of the world by positively touching their hearts and minds in such a memorable way. He will forever be missed by the people of Africa, and the world as a whole.
May his gently soul rest in perfect peace. We truly miss his absence already. However, it is quite certain that the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing since the very moment that he departed from earth. We the people of the earth are very glad that we had the wonderful opportunity to experiences his years of impeccable greatness. His life was definitely a true example of a life that was well lived.
Yours Truly, Edmond Mbiaka.
